March and April have been fun months hunting for chizzlers in Southwestern Utah. I went to Beryl with some pals and even the youngest of hunters had a great time. The weather this year has been more mild than in years past so the varmints have been out earlier than ever. I had a great hunt with Bounty Hunter 6,some of his pals, and one of my former Boy Scout group members. I also got to go hunt with a good friend in the neighborhood and his 9 year old son. The Jr. hunter shot with the best of us. He was patient and was able to nail two chizzlers with a pump up BB gun. I was amazed at his ability to stay on task and wait for the vermin to raise its head out of its burrow. He had to retrieve the critter with his new multiplier knife and show us. It took him about 1 1/2 hours to get the animals and was much more proud than his father and me at the accomplishment. I have to say "hats off to you! Little man." I don't know if I would have been patient enough or a good enough shot to pull this one off at age 9. Hunting chizzlers helps out the farmer, and is lots of fun for us. The ravens, crows, and surviving chizzlers even get to eat the dead so they all get a good feed.
